Today is the autumn equinox - the point on the wheel where day and night are equal length before we are gently tipped into the darker part of the year.

We are invited to ground ourselves and to gently look inward. What dreams would you like to bring to life in the Spring? What can you do now, as we begin to settle into Autumn and Winter, to care for and nurture them?

The equinox is second harvest of the wheel of the year. The first is Lammas on 1st August and this is associated with grain and bread. The equinox honours the fruit harvest and it is a time to stop and notice the abundance around us -trees laden with apples, and sloes, elderberries, haws and damsons in the hedgerow. It’s an invitation to savour that which is ending, whilst welcoming that which is arriving.
It helps us to recognise that as one part ends, and things come to fruition and completion, the seeds are being sown for what’s to come and the dark will sustain and nurture their development.

I love the equinox, it feels calm, complete and I always welcome the invitation to rest and plan . I love the reminder that in endings there are beginnings and it always feels comforting to me despite the fact that the light is gradually fading for now.

In April Lou Earnshaw | Artist | Photographer | Outdoor instructor came to my garden and studio to run a watercolour workshop.
It was utterly lovely but more to the point, totally transformative for me personally.

I have never painted, having been told at school that I was rubbish at art. As a consequence I believed that I was not artistic or creative and I know I am not alone in that experience.

Obviously I now run a creative business and help others to find their creative voice, but the belief still persisted that various art forms were not available to me.

During the workshop in April, Lou made me pick up a paintbrush and I discovered, not that I am good at painting, but that the process was so extremely mindful and restful.

It has been a valuable source of respite over the past few difficult, grief filled months and when sleep was hard to find it at least gave some mental rest and peace.

I will be forever grateful for that gift and also grateful for the fact that Lou will be returning in October for another workshop.
Come and join us, will be very lovely and extremely relaxing.
If you have never painted before then this is for you and if you have, then come and find some new nature treasures to add to your repertoire .

It can feel tricky sometimes to navigate your own path, rather than a path that has been set out for you.

Standing firmly in yourself and knowing yourself fully, using your intuition and gifts to the full, living a free authentic life is not possible for so many people and there are lots of barriers in the way to that.

What I can do is pass on my insight and knowledge to empower other women who will in turn pass it on.

This is the way that knowledge and empowerment has always been passed on through communities of women - through gathering together, being open, intuitive, sharing skills and sisterhood . Through covens.

My 2027 coven will be the fourth and is available now - step in, we’d love to have you 🧡.

Today is Lammas - one foot in summer, the other dipping a toe into autumn. It’s a festival of gratitude and abundance, of honouring what we are harvesting. There is always something that has grown no matter how tough the conditions, literally as well as metaphorically. It’s the first harvest so it’s also about patience and anticipation, there’s still more to come to fruition (dahlias and zinnias for me literally, metaphorically, other things that are slower to get going due to challenging conditions). And if things haven’t been harvested as you hoped then save that seed for the next turn of the wheel.

A riotous ramble. The hardest and most special flowers I’ve ever had to do. They were for my lovely dad who died a few weeks ago.
We said goodbye on Weds with a natural burial Hill Holt Wood who were simply amazing . They were so incredibly kind and professional and couldn’t have looked after us better.
To know my dad is in their woodland, becoming part of nature (and a magical rowan tree in particular) brings us all so much comfort. It has been a hard few weeks and not about to get much better for a while, but laying him to rest in such a beautiful place made what could have been an impossible day a lot easier.
Alongside such incredible love and kindness from family and friends, the peace and beauty of the location, and the professionalism and kindness of our fabulous celebrant, Helen Millington, it felt that we had truly honoured and celebrated my dads life and it’s left to us now to try and navigate the world without him.
I will need a bit of time to process it all I think, so forgive me if I disappear here for a while x

Today is the summer solstice, the point on the wheel where we have the longest day and shortest night.

It is the point of peak nature, where light and energy has been increasing since the winter solstice and now nature is at its most potent and abundant, reaching its fullest expression.
From here nature starts to shift into a ripening and richening .

It is an invitation to celebrate the light, the abundance of nature, to anchor in to the seasons and to acknowledge the wheel always turns and seasons of light and dark are held in balance.
Solstice blessings 💫🙏

Join me for a flowery day of creativity, energy healing and mindfulness.

We know that working creatively with flowers is a beautiful thing to do. Those of us who run floral workshops have seen time and time again the benefit of working with your hands, with gorgeous natural materials and how that facilitates calm, positivity and meaningful conversations.

But in addition flowers have their own energetic signature and which ones you choose can tell you a lot about where you might be stuck and offer insights into how to navigate current challenges.

My floral retreat workshop combines reiki healing using individual flowers and floral creativity where you create a beautiful floral urn incorporating the flowers you have chosen.

It is a powerful, mindful day helping you to connect to yourself and to nature .

You can find some more information in my bio 🧡
